This itself is mostly luck. In 1995 he pled no-contest to dragging his girlfriend out of their house by her hair, down 3 flights of stairs, before bashing her head into a mailbox. In 2005 he was accused, and later convicted, of twice choking his girlfriend unconscious, and another time knocking her head into their bathtub. Who knows what he did in the middle, but I'm sure we haven't heard all of it -- just the parts that almost killed women. I'm not saying that you in particular were arguing this, but as a contribution to this thread -- Lawrence Phillips is not someone that just needed to learn a lesson or someone to pity. He's a scumbag of the highest (lowest?) order and a neanderthal. http://www.thaindian.com/newsportal/world/lawrence-phillips-convicted-of-assaulting-his-girlfriend_100232028.html http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2015/apr/19/bianchi-what-if-aaron-hernandez-lawrence-phillips/

No income tax. They have sales tax.

Most penalized teams in 2014: 1. Seattle 2. New England Most penalized players in 2014: 1. Browner - NE 2. Bennett - Sea Source: http://www.nflpenalties.com/ Sorry, you were saying something about penalties losing games? According to this site, Incognito has not led the league in penalties in any year on or after 2009, but it doesn't go any farther back than that. So even if penalties did lose games, which they don't seem to, you're clinging to very old history to claim that Incognito is a league-leader in penalties. Would you also not accept Browner or Bennett on your team? What about Richard Sherman? Russell Okung? These players on championship teams all have more penalties than Incognito in his last full year, 2012. Here are Incognito's penalties from 2012, when he was somewhere around 60th in the league in penalties: Offensive Holding (4), Unnecessary Roughness (2), False Start (1) Here's the same for Russell Okung, 2012 pro-bowl LT (a pro-bowler that year): False Start (8), Offensive Holding (5) Clearly, Incognito is history's greatest monster.

Greer is unsure if he'll come back from his latest injury, and seems to be mentally preparing for retirement. . http://www.nfl.com/n...ter-knee-injury

Except, you know, when they do. Like in 2012, when NE traded up twice in the first round: http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/articles/2012/04/27/patriots_trade_picks_get_jones_hightower/ or in 2006, when PITT traded up for Santonio Holmes: http://triblive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/sports/steelers/s_448709.html#axzz31BANkNoM

I don't need to form opinions, other people have done it for me!

Bills announced they have re-signed K Dan Carpenter.

Easy, the Tampa Bay game in week 12 of 2000. Sam Cowart was having one of the most dominant games I've ever seen out of a linebacker -- 3 sacks in the first half only begin to tell the story, he was all over the field and seemed unstoppable. I remember thinking that he had finally come into his own that day. Then he was cut blocked by a TB guard, screwed up his ankle, and basically never played for the bills again -- he blew out his knee on opening day in 2001, and that was it. The Bills were up early, but sunk after that injury. Rob Johnson threw for 262 yards and 2 tds, and got sacked *seven* times that game.... Rob Johnson vs Shaun King (sacked 6 times) wasn't exactly Manning vs Brady that day. Unfortunately for Sam, that day in his 3rd season was probably the pinnacle of his career. He bounced around the league for some years after that, most notably with the Jets, but was never that player again. He was also voted to the probowl in 2000, despite not being able to play the last 4 games due to the injury. Next up - we'll keep on the linebacker kick with Bryce Paup.

UFA qb: romo, warner UFA rb: arian foster, fred jackson UFA wr: wes welker, victor cruz UFA te: antonio gates UFA ol: jason peters, jeff saturday UFA lb: james harrison, bart scott, fletcher UFA dl pat williams... In fact, why are we even drafting 1st and 2nd rounders at all, when we could just stockpile UDFA's at every position.

So either his career is done, or he'll be a wrecking ball. Way to take a stand.

Man, I'd hate to be *that* guy

Oh right, my argument. I almost forgot I presented one -- but I must have, for such biased data to be cherrypicked. History does have a decided bias against whatever you think I'm arguing for, so maybe that explains it.

Oh, I'm not offended. It takes more than anonymous name calling from internet toughs to get me down. I was just hoping that if I took the time to research the point at hand and share my research with the board, it would encourage and perhaps contribute to a legitimate adult discussion about the matter at hand. Again, my bad.

Now you're calling me a lady? Before I get offended... are you buying me dinner?

I don't have a theory. Weo asked for stats about superbowls and top 5 draft picks. I provided historically accurate stats with a frigging parenthetical aside describing the edge case of Eli Manning. Now I'm having motives and theories ascribed to me, and generally having my integrity questioned. My bad, I guess.
